Busily Baking with Barberries

When I get a new ingredient to bake with, I’m always eager to call my friend Suzy to help me create new recipes. She’s the ideal friend to test and taste since she’s always honest and will tell me what she really thinks. Yesterday, still soaring with excitement after my successful dinner incorporating Zereshk (barberries), I couldn’t wait to use these tart zingers for something sweet. I’d been kind of obsessed with the idea since Monday.

As always, Suzy was as enthusiastic as I to create something new, especially something sweet! We baked two delightful treats yesterday, Barberry Orange Glazed Scones and Barberry Biscotti and both were hits. The barberries lent a not-so-subtle hint of tartness to the sweet cookies. We made the scones a tad sweeter than most in order to handle the sourness of the barberries. If you’ve never had barberries before, you might detect a hint of lemon in these treats. If you don’t have or want to order barberries online, you can substitute chopped cranberries.

Enjoy!

Barberry Orange Scones

Print Recipe

Barberries and orange zest compliment a sweet pastry in these flaky scones. A drizzle of orange glaze mellows the tartness from the berries just perfectly. Enjoy with a cup of tea in the afternoon or with coffee in the morning. Make a big batch and store some in the freezer for an impromptu gathering with friends.

About Alison J. Bermack

It all began when I was a child cooking with my dad, the kitchen a magnet for cooking and camaraderie, a refuge from adolescence. I spent countless hours chopping, sautéing and simmering my way through childhood. And now, with three kids of my own, I’m still chopping, but this time through their childhood and often with friends.
